Play Morrowind Ando.

It’s the best Elder Scrolls imo. Epically jamazing when it came out on XBOX so very long ago now.

Is jamazing a typo? If it is I want to make it a new word for when something is even more than amazing.

My sister got in a fist fight with her mom so she has got to leave from there. Guess where she’s ending up for atleast the night/week/stfu please no I will not think any further ahead, while they calm down from each other...

My routine/peace will be turned upside down in a few minutes.

Fuck man

What's Thanksgiving and Christmas like in your family? Should one bring a mouth guard?

Feeling very frustrated.

Tried to play some computer games after a long time. I thought I would try something other than my standard RTS games. So I tried Skyrim.

Despite having more than the minimum specs, the game won't run. I always wanted to play this game and this is so irritating.

What open world RPGs should I try? Morrowing? Dragon Age?
Also does anyone here play online MMORPGS?

Dragon Age Origins is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. Just not Open World. But story and characters are amazing.


Morrowind is also a fantastic game. Some of the mechanics didn't age well and in my opinion you have to get the boots of blinding speed to get around at a reasonable pace, but still a lot of fun.

I'm playing Elder Scrolls Online from time to time with friends. Just running around and questing can be fun. But for playing many of the Dungeons and the PVP maps you have to invest quite some time to not get destroyed. I don't have the time and so my friends carry me normally

Seconding the recommendation for Dragon Age: Origins

BK have you tried sending her straight to hell with a couple stone cold stunners and a tombstone piledriver?

I probably will if she starts asking for any of my pain pills. Hopefully she got her own or this gonna get bad.

Y'all know when the last time was I have slept under the same roof with my sister? 1984.

Theres a "Big Brother" joke in there somewhere.

[Andorion]

Thanks for the game tips guys.

BK, is it too late to say that you have the plague and thus can't host your sister?
Also, lock up your meds, and hide the key if you are worried about her taking any. Pain pills are no joke.

I think it's time to quit.
Second month ago in a row the wages have been wrong.
I don't blame the accounting woman, she is told only to pay by what is on their stupid digital system that is never correct.
I mean NEVER correct. So I submit a timesheet with my invoice, always have.

So the money I was short last month wasn't made to order this month and this month my wages are a further £300 short.

I'll get it eventually but I'm tired of having to fight over this fucking nonsense. And the asshole boss is on project manager position for the job I'm running the electrical side on. Sometimes I think he's willfully trying to cripple the project, the mechanical side were able to get someone else to basically kick him out on their side. I feel like I'm trying to do this job with my arms tied and a blindfold on at times. Every single problem or embarrassment we have suffered on site is directly traceable to him being a fuckwit.
I can start a job at home tomorrow, actually home home, I'll leave my house at 8am and be home by 5.30 every day. No flights and no crap to deal with. It will hit my wallet badly but I'm past caring

Strike at the railway company. No trains. They're supposed to be running again now but no way is anything going to be on time for the remainder of the day. Spent an hour and a half freezing at the train station, then legged it home. Ugh.

Nah, this is homegrown. Though this time they also stopped the regional trains instead of just the express and freight trains. NOTHING goes. I made a second attempt to get to work, froze my ass off for another hour and a half and decided to call it a day. Going by how nobody is picking up the phone at work, I'm not the only one with this problem.

[Andorion]

Trying to finish a write-up and submission for my PhD but I am so utterly sleepy I can barely process anything.

[Cause]

The laboratory that does my blood tests says I am owed a refund and asked me to send them my bank details, which I have done. I just cant shake the feeling that I am part of some kind of Machiavellian plot in which they will end up garnishing my wages. Which is ridiculous but this whole process just seems so bizarre to me.

They send me an sms saying I must email them to ask about a refund. Which I did. They say my medical aid has paid them, after I already paid them. Which is entirely possible as I have been bitching to my medical aid as to why my cancer blood tests are not covered in my oncology benefits. However I cant seem to get them to tell me how much I am owed and they just told me I also have R800 outstanding which they will take from my refund before sending me the balance. The guys job title is literally banking refund clerk, how often can this happen that its some guys entire job?

Is he a prince as well who looks to move large sums of money out of the country and were you recently involved in a car accident?

[Macros]

is he concerned about your PPI claim?

I have the day off work. Spent the morning turning my kids cot into a toddler bed. I'm totally terrified at the prospect of no longer having a child cage! Surely it isn't a good idea to let them loose all the time?!?

[Tiste Simeon]

Meanwhile my baby vommed in my beard so that was fun.

[Tsundoku]

The last 3 weeks have been absolutely freaking insane. None of the usual slowing down toward end of year thing.
Nope, it ramped up and was way worse than usual. And in my workplace it's constant lastminute.com with incomplete info, gotta be done NOW etc.

As a nice last day example - us clerks went until almost 1700 today, when everyone else knocked off early before 1300 and simply walked out, we were fixing their fuckups. When you start at 0630 it gets pretty tiring, and except for last Xmas with a 3.5 week break and a few days here and there, that's been my world for the last 2 years. I often remote log in as well after hours from home.

And they're saying next year's tempo will be worse. Which will be great when we just lost 3 clerks out of 8 total - none of whom will be replaced apparently - and our senior clerk goes overseas from the start of next year for over 6 months, then will be coming back to go on long service leave for the rest of the year. That will leave us with 4 out of 8, when we really should have 10. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Did I mention the heat wave we had a week or so ago, followed by the ghastly humidity? Having no aircon makes it really character building, especially when you're dripping with sweat and can't think, and you finally have something to eat around 1400.

So tired all the time.

Ah well, #firstworldproblems I guess.

It is terrifying. And you will wake up to them staring at you in the middle of the night.

Mine did in my mouth once.

But, will that smell ever come out of your beard, or will you smell warm partially digested breast milk all day?

[Tiste Simeon]

A shower and some shampoo has seemed to fix it thankfully. Nor does it stink that much...
